Frequently Asked Questions

The transplant operation estimate includes - hospital stay for the recipient (up to 21 days) and donor (up to 7 days); both the donor & recipient surgeries; all visits by the transplant team (surgeons and hepatologist), Doppler ultrasound for the first 5 days for the recipient and 1 day for the donor; medical consumables and medicines used during and after the operation.

Basic reports of the patient need to be e-mailed, based on which we can issue a letter to facilitate visas for the donor and attendants. Normally up to two attendants are allowed to come apart from the donor and the recipient.

There is a legal committee that will go through the documentation of the donor's relationship with the recipient. The hospital's coordinator will help the patient to collate these papers. Donor and recipient will need to provide the original documents as needed.
